Help Needed Regarding Playing My Mod
-
Hello!
I have recently started working on my own mod for The Powder Toy. I read many tutorials from the Wiki and downloaded the source code from GitHub. I have created a new element and I am ready to test it to see if it works properly. However, I am unsure how to play the game. I cannot find an .exe file anywhere. I am sorry if I am missing something obvious, I am new to modding. Please help me find how to play my mod.
Thank you.

You'll need to compile the game to generate the .exe file
You can find the guide to do that here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Building_TPT_with_Meson.html
Along with the element creation tutorial you followed, that should be enough to mod the game and create new elements. -
Thanks!
I have a few questions before I compile the game.
Once I generate the .exe file, will I still be able to add new elements?
If yes, then will the game automatically update to include new elements when I add new elements, or will I have to do that manually?
Thank you for your help.

You have to recompile the game every time you change the source code to generate a new .exe
By default, the .exe will be a debug build (slow), but there are instructions for compiling a release build on the wiki.
